Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what report he has received from the Indian
organisation, Volunteers for Social Justice, regarding bonded labourers in Punjab State who have registered their cases in 1999 or
before, but have not been released. [153121]
Mr. Wilson: We understand that, as of 19 August 2000, 698 bonded labourers had registered cases at the Punjab Human Rights
Commission or the Punjab and Haryana Court. Of these cases almost all had been filed in 1999 or before. We share the concern of
Volunteers for Social Justice over the situation of bonded labourers in India. We continue to monitor the issue closely.
